This is Makeesha's Color Challenge 24:

these colors are so chic, I totally love the combo... gotta try to make a nice card with them...hmmm.... to the craft room! back later, hopefully with a card worth showing!
update1: wow, I only have until midnight to make this one and tomorrow is Convention Day!!! better get crackin' , it's 7:15 PM !
update2: there - had to make it real quick, sorry... but I like the result - and already have someone in mind that will get it soon!

Alison was our graceful and talented hostess this time, and the first challenge was to create a card using RidingHood Red, Whisper White and Soft Suede... I had not made a "bird card" yet, and since I missed the Mother's Day craze this year, this is my effort... I am a bit rusty - took me longer than usual!

And the inside - you do need space to write something inside, eh?

working on it tonight... hmm..
here's my first rendition - maybe I will try a couple more tomorrow, if time is on my side :o)
This theme has a bit of a history behind it: I have a friend who turned 40 last year and made a speech during his party that he was a happy bachelor and would never be "caught" in a hook by a girl... he felt there were too many fish in the sea to be with just "one catch". Exactly 10 months later he tells me he is madly in love, proposed and will be getting married in May in Tahiti. I had been thinking about sending him a card with a pertinent message, and saw this sketch as the perfect opportunity... To my Friend - Best Wishes and a Long Married Life as a The Catch!

I haven't participated in any challenges in a while - so this is my first rendition for this one: I have been in love with the cards that stand by themselves, and love the lines in whisper white that look like panelling...
It's hard to get tired of the Butterfly Print stamp set also - and the Framed with Love frame worked nicely with the You & Moi message.

Okay, this is one silly card... I so LOVE this owl from the new Summer Mini stamp set Animal Stories I am looking for any excuse to use it !! I also always wanted to use the Giggle from the Warm Words stamp set, and this is defintely the occasion !!
Now, this is a sneak peek of the new Summer Mini - as demonstrators, we get the opportunity to get and experiment with the new stampsets, DSPs and everything else so we are ready to show you when it comes out Dec 1st.
